These statues depict the priestesses of Vesta, otherwise known as the Vestal Virgins. Serving for thirty years, these priestesses had the job of maintaining the sacred fire in the Temple of Vesta. Should these women break their vow of chastity, the punishment was death by being buried alive.

MYTHOLOGY MEME | (3/8) LEGENDARY CREATURES

A WITCH is a practitioner of witchcraft. Witchcraft is the use of magical faculties, most commonly for religious, divinatory or medicinal purposes. This may take many forms depending on cultural context. The belief in and the practice of magic has been present since the earliest human cultures and continues to have an important religious and medicinal role in many cultures today. The concept of witchcraft as harmful is often treated as a cultural ideology providing a scapegoat for human misfortune. This was particularly the case in Early Modern Europe where witchcraft came to be seen as part of a vast diabolical conspiracy of individuals in league with the Devil undermining Christianity, eventually leading to large-scale witch-hunts, especially in Protestant Europe. Witch hunts continue to this day with tragic consequences. (x)

H I S T O R Y  M E M E | 2/9  M O N A R C H S → Lady Jane Grey (1536/1537 –1554)

Lady Jane Grey or The Nine Days’ Queen, was an English noblewoman and de facto monarch of England from 10 July until 19 July 1553.

The great-granddaughter of Henry VII through his younger daughter Mary, Jane was a first cousin once removed of Edward VI. In May 1553, she was married to Lord Guildford Dudley, a younger son of Edward’s chief minister, John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland. When the 15-year-old King lay dying in June 1553, he nominated Jane as successor to the Crown in his will, thus subverting the claims of his half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth under the Third Succession Act. Jane was imprisoned in the Tower of London when the Privy Council decided to change sides and proclaim Mary as queen on 19 July 1553. Jane was convicted of high treason in November 1553, which carried a sentence of death, although her life was initially spared.Wyatt’s rebellion of January and February 1554 against Queen Mary I’s plans for a Spanish match led to the execution of Jane, at the age of 16 or 17, and also of her husband.

Lady Jane Grey had an excellent humanist education and a reputation as one of the most learned young women of her day. A committed Protestant, she was posthumously regarded as not only a political victim but also a martyr.

I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave. I suppose that now I must become more than either.

[wessygibbins-deactivated2015060]

Tris is always my favorite, because she’s such a complicated girl— at times humorless and merciless and relentlessly hard on herself, at other times brave and compassionate and emotional. I have also loved watching her develop a sense of humor over time. There are so many things I like about her.
